Tranny is dieing, advice?, threw a code (42) speed sensor Options

UPDATE

This thread started as my speedometer issues thread. now its changed over to tranny issues in general. I think i need a new tranny.

Issues
-Seals leak even when brand new
-Speedo gear dead
-Rough Shifting
-Metallic noise when in neutral (goes away when i push in the clutch)

what do you all think???









Ok so it worked fine.. and then started working less.. (on and off) and now just doesn't work at all.. not one bit.. I thought maybe the plug was loose, but checked that and its fine..

where is the sensor in the tranny? maybe i need to check that end of the wiring..

any ideas? i'm tired of my mileage not getting logged...

the speedo is controlled by a speedometer gear, you can see it on top of the tranny. If the teeth of the gears are worn they will not attain a speed. Only if this is the case, you can get another from the junkyard from even a camry with a 5sfe motor. Also, in my experience my rpm died in my other car, so thought a sensor went bad and then later my speedo started showing a lower speed than actual, thought again both sensors going bad. I changed the cluster and both now works so it might not be a sensor. If you don't got any testers, just find another cluster, they run about 50 avg or borrow one and test it. This is the easiest and less drastic solution. good luck.
